FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the GEL-KAYANO 14 incorporates advanced cushioning, it is primarily designed for all-day comfort and casual wear, rather than high-performance running. For dedicated running, ASICS offers other specialized models.
How do I clean the white mesh upper?
For the white mesh, use a soft brush or a clean, damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Gently scrub in circular motions, then wipe off any soap residue with a clean, damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.
What does 'GEL technology' do?
GEL technology refers to silicone-based cushioning strategically placed in the midsole to absorb shock effectively. This helps to protect your feet from impact and provides a more comfortable stride.
What is the TRUSSTIC support system?
The TRUSSTIC system is a lightweight, contoured component located under the arch of the shoe. It provides enhanced stability and reduces the weight of the sole unit, preventing the shoe from twisting excessively during movement.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable, allowing you to air them out, clean them separately, or replace them with custom orthotics if needed.
Is this model available in other sizes or colors?
Yes, the ASICS GEL-KAYANO 14 series is generally available in a range of adult sizes and various colorways. Please check with your retailer for current availability.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The leather and textile upper provides some protection, but the shoes are not waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or puddles to preserve the materials and ensure foot comfort.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them for short periods initially to break them in. If discomfort persists, consider trying a half-size up or a wider fit if available.
Squeaking noise when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by trapped moisture under the insole. Remove the insole, clean and dry the inside of the shoe and the insole thoroughly, then reinsert. If the squeak continues, it might be an issue with the sole; contact customer support.
Foot odor develops.
Allow shoes to air out after each use. Remove insoles periodically for separate cleaning and airing. Consider using odor-absorbing inserts or foot powder. Ensure you wear moisture-wicking socks.
Stains on the leather or textile upper.
Act quickly! For fresh stains, gently blot with a clean, damp cloth. For oil-based stains, a small amount of mild dish soap can be applied with a cloth, then wiped clean. Always test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces constantly come undone.
Ensure you are using a secure knot (e.g., a double knot). If the laces are worn, consider replacing them with new ones of good quality.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the aesthetic of your GEL-KAYANO 14 shoes:
- Cleaning the Upper (Leather & Textile):
- For general dirt, use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap. Gently wipe away grime.
- For tougher spots on leather, use a specialized leather cleaner. For textile areas, a gentle fabric cleaner can be used.
- Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes which can damage materials.
- Cleaning the Sole (Synthetic):
- Use a stiff brush and water to remove dirt and debris from the synthetic sole.
- Wipe down the sidewalls with a damp cloth.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators). Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. If storing for extended periods, consider using shoe trees to help maintain their form.
- Avoid Submersion: Do not machine wash or submerge the entire shoe in water, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
